Rain

[elwyman]

Next week is looking more promising:

wwwa.accuweather.com/world-forecast-15day.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&locCode=EUR|UK|UK623|Pitlochry&metric=1

Link doesn't work properly, but type in Pitlochry in the search window for a15 day forecast.

This works better, and gives an indication of how much rain - not a lot by the look of it.

Good link and it worked fine for me. The masterplan - Thunderstorms on Monday, high water on Tuesday, dropping and clearing on wednesday - my day on Portnacraig. Nothing can go wrong!

Not so good if you are due to fishing the Tummel on Monday

How you doing up there Greenbanks ? Very public spirited of you to let a few fish past for me and Splash yesterday.
On the subject of rain, in headwaters of Tweed country (known as Dark Ages Valley to the more prolific members) we had a few heavy belts of rain today but not enough to do any serious damage. Burns running into the top of the river are "sma" so Splash should be OK at Horncliffe tomorrow. I was going to waste my time on the Annan tomorrow but not even enough has fallen to make that worthwhile.
Archie reckoned Crathie should have been 1ft above yesterday's level - very obvious lack of snow on those hills so looks like we'll have to learn a communal rain dance.

Hi BC,

Good to meet you and Splash yesterday, and to hear you both got a fish. Just looked on Metcheck. Forecast is rain during the week then snow for the Cairngorms next weekend After basking on the Costa Del Balmoral for the past few days, I think Archie might be digging his thermals out for the weekend.

Am away golfing to Marbella for the week, nuff said!

A steady 25 degrees forecast there all week. Have a good time. If you pick up half the tan that Woburn got at Crathie you'll be doing well.

Aye it will great to get some colour on the arms and legs instead of just the face and a wee bit neck. ;D
Forecast looks spot on for a few games of gowf.

It came today on the North Esk. Colliedog, Windy and I fished at The Burn and it rose 2ft between 9am and 3pm (see pics of the gauges at 10am and 2pm). Certainly stirred a few fish up although it had coloured up by 2pm. Interesting beat and just like fishing a highland spate river

[Sloggi]

Great stuff Splash. I've often fished the opposite beat - did you have ropes and ice-picks to get to the pools I really enjoy the "gorge" although landing fish can be fun. In my experience, the fish really run the gorge when the spate comes and end up below the Loups ready for a...loup, I guess.

Should shake the river up though, been running at summer low for weeks.

Thanks Sloggi - the mountaineering was a challenge but looked even more severe on the Gannochy side. Certainly a few fish around although most looked like old river fish with the odd freshish one around. Interested to see next weeks catches....

Seriously considering Edzell on Monday

Well worth a punt on todays evidence and assuming there is no more rain

cheers

Fished Kercock on the Tay today and the level rose 6 inches anfd the became steady. Slight peatinees to the water, but only very slight.
I never touched anything but there were two fish lost on the beat. Seen a few fish, but they were not hanging around. If we get no rain tonight, there may be a few fish off the Tay in the morning.
